Six Quantum Pieces: A First Course In Quantum Physics

This book is an original first approach to quantum physics, the core of modern physics. It combines the competence of a well-known researcher in quantum information science and the freshness in style of two high school students.

Quantum physics is known to be challenging for two reasons: it describes counter-intuitive phenomena and employs rather advanced mathematics. The description of " traditional" quantum phenomena (the structure of atoms and molecules, the properties of solids, the zool...
